Can't fetch mails (via cron)

Added by Marcel Fuhrmann about 11 years ago

Hello,

I can fetch mails successfully with (as root):

/usr/local/bin/rake -f /usr/local/www/redmine/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" \
    host=EMAILSERVER \
    username=USERNAME \
    password=PASSWORD \
    port=993 ssl=1 \
    move_on_success=SUCCESS

But when I try to fetch mails using cron, it doesn't work.

*/5     *       *       *       *       root      /usr/local/bin/rake -f /usr/local/www/redmine/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" host=EMAILSERVER username=USERNAME password=PASSWORD port=993 ssl=1     move_on_success=SUCCESS

I also tried to run this command in a shell script and let cron start this script. But without success.
I don't get any error messages.

Any ideas?

Thanks for help.

I have faced this kind of problem to fetch my emails too.

I have corrected it by adding some on my environment variables into my script :

My script :

#!/bin/sh
HOSTNAME=centos
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
cd /var/www/redmine ;
rake redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV=”production” ....

and it worked for me.

Here is my cron job also :

su apache -s /bin/sh -c "/var/www/redmine/mail.sh" > /var/www/redmine/mail.log 2>&1
